Manila ranks 3rd in Worst cities for driving

[edgeknife]

---

In 2001, Manila borrowed US$60 million from the World Bank for transit-related activities. Among other things, the funds were meant to “promote the use of non-motorized transport.”
A campaign asking locals to “Please stop driving,” however, wasn't necessarily the best approach to traffic management.

According to one report, “Residents perceive traffic congestion as their number one problem, followed by air pollution, garbage collection, flood control and the need for security.”

So, Filipinos care more about getting to work on time than they do about respiratory ailments, mounting trash heaps, drowning or being assaulted? Capitalism wins again!

Redeeming quality: You're in a country in which smooth-flowing traffic is apparenly of utmost importance to residents. So, you gotta figure somebody, somewhere is working on the problem. Right?

oh boy... daghan kaayu badlungon nga drivers sa manila. from bus drivers, to taxi drivers to jeppney drivers, even to the private vehicle drivers... di lang sila gadala sa bad traffic but also dili mosunod og traffic rules... naa sign nga no parking, mo parking jud...

there was one time last month nga when i arrived in manila domestic airport from cebu, i took a walk kay mosakay ko jeepney going to taft-pasay rotunda. while walking towards sa sakayanan of jeep near the domestic airport, naa daghan kaayu mga taxi nag atang near airport ga parking sa atubangan kaayu nga "No Parking." Again, naa No Parking sign atubangan kaayu nila. gi-sita sila sa security guard, unya gikasab-an nila ang mga taxi drivers nag parking diha. gi ingnan sa security guard og, "brod, may disiplina ba kayo? Di ninyo nakita ang no parking sa harap ninyo? umalis na kayo dito." nanghawa intawn ang mga taxi drivers sa ka-uwaw...

We have to invest in railroad transportation in order to ease the burden of over saturation of cars especially in a densely place like Manila.
